Manago Restaurant

Arrived towards the end of the shift, but still had time to thoroughly enjoy our pork chops and butter fish, the fish melted nin your mouth and the chips were just like my grandmother made with a great gravy. Waitress was very diligent and friendly, the great thing is that the sides arrive almost Immediately so you can munch on them whilst waiting for the main course. So glad we managed to make it only open Wednesday through Saturday currently so plan accordingly.

Had dinner with family and friends. Service is excellent! We will go back again.

We ordered the pork chops for lunch and it was eye popping as in huge portions!

Lei and Melia were warm and friendly. Really nice folks.

It's a little out of the way but that's the charm. Just good food, good people!

A true gem. Butterfish with miso is pan seared and amazing. Beef teriyaki is lean and flavorful. Pork chops were unreal good - and I don’t even like pork.
Simple food but good quality ingredients. And the history and simplicity of the place makes it a rare gem.

Great experience, very authentic. It's a simple menu, but the pork chop is world class. Service is friendly and quick.

This place has haunted my dreams for 13 years since I left Hawaii. I used to come here with my father for pork chops and ono all the time and it's one of my favorite memories. We returned to the island this past month and this was my number one place I wanted to visit. Not a thing has changed, and I say that in the best way possible. Friendly service, giant portion sizes, they still have the best pork chops in the entire world. We literally planned our excursions around when the restaurant was open to make sure we were able to come here. Definitely stop in if you get the opportunity. Promise you won't be disappointed.

We had a lovely meal at Manago Hotel Restaurant, a place with over a century of history, originally founded by a Japanese immigrant during the Meiji era. Although the Manago Hotel itself is currently being acquired and converted into affordable workforce housing, the restaurant—Hawaii’s oldest continuously operating one—remains open and continues to serve under new ownership. The Manago family has even agreed to share their iconic recipes, including their famous pork chops.

When you enter the restaurant, you can still feel traces of its Japanese roots—from the simple, nostalgic decor to the rice bowls and dishware, many of which are traditionally Japanese.

The menu is small but thoughtfully curated. Each meal comes with three traditional side dishes, giving it a comforting, homemade feel. We ordered the Pork Chops ($19.50 + 50¢ for gravy) and the Butterfish ($23.50 + 50¢ for miso sauce). The pork chops were hearty and satisfying, but the standout was the butterfish. It was incredibly flavorful, and the miso sauce complemented the tender fish beautifully.

If you're looking for authentic local flavors served in a place full of history and cultural heritage, this is the perfect spot.😊✨

Nice people , great food. Historical

This is no longer a hotel, only a restaurant. The hotel closed over a year ago. Website is inaccurate.

Check local listings they may be closed

What a gem! Valentine special was amazing. Steak cooked great. Shimp succulent, asparagus perfect. The mashed potatoes were a little chunky b

Did not stay here but ate at the restaurant. Pork chops with gravy was awesome. Sides of sticky rice, cabbage, beans and a unique potato/pasta salad made for a filling meal. Quaint little place with some views of the ocean.

Love it! Even mention in our bed and breakfast newsletter to letter to our guests

The pork chop and Opakapaka are to die for!

What a wonderful place. There are so few old Hawaiian dining rooms left. Manago is special. We miss the neon! I hope they bring it back.

Food and drinks: Classic family style Hawaiian.
